OHHH TWO CHAPTERS IN ONE DAY...YEAH I'M THAT GOOD...LOL...PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!!

Harry sat at the kitchen table eating hi food quite pleased with how good of a cook Severus was. He guessed that cooking would come naturally to a potion's master considering the fact that the job was spent chopping ingredients and stirring liquids together.

"Sir, what did you say this was called?"

"Pasta Putanesca." He said taking another bite. "Do you like it?"

"It's got to be the best thing I've had to eat all summer."

Severus sighed. "More or less the only thing you have eaten all summer."

Harry's face went scarlet and it started an uncomfortable silence between the two. At least until Severus broke it again.

"Harry, I'm sorry about that last comment. It wasn't appropriate of me to say such a thing."

"No…you were right. I just…don't like to be reminded of it…"

Severus nodded and took a sip from his wine glass.

"Sir-"

"Harry…if you are going to live here we need to come up with a system to deal with names."

Harry blushed.

"Now I understand if dad is too soon but you cannot go on calling me sir every time you want to talk…you make me feel old brat." He said playfully.

Harry smiled and chuckled.

"Well sir…facts are facts." Harry said teasing him back

Severus cocked his eyebrow and said "How old do you think I am brat?"

"I'd rather not answer that sir."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to die before graduation."

Severus laughed full heartedly at that. It was such a genuine comment that he could not resist.

"Well child…I will tell you how old I was when I had you then you can figure it out on your own."

Harry nodded. "I'm going to warn you that I suck at math."

"Well I won't kill you if you get my age wrong."

"Oh, that's a relief-"

"I'll just cut out your limbs and use them as potion ingredients."

Harry gaped at him.

"Your mother gave birth to you when I was twenty-six."

Harry thought about it for a moment.

"Soo that means you are forty-one."

Severus sneered. "I thought you were horrid at math?" he grumbled.

Harry broke out in laughter unable to contain himself. His eyes began to water, how did they even get onto the topic of age? Who cares! The conversation was simple and Harry enjoyed it none the less.

After supper Harry offered to help Severus with the dishes. To his surprise Severus turned him down.

"Don't misunderstand me Harry, you will have chores," he said placing a dish on the rack, "but tonight it is your first night here so I want you to enjoy it."

"Thanks sir but I'd really like to help."

"If you want to help me then go and watch the telly or something, just get out of my way." Severus said sadly.

Harry shouldn't be offering to help he should be running from the kitchen to avoid washing dishes.

"You have a telly Severus?" he asked in astonishment.

Severus smiled.

"Despite what other wizards believe Harry I do think that some things muggles use are useful. That and I do enjoy watching it myself."

Just as Harry was about to leave he couldn't resist asking, "What do you watch?"

"Well, if you are that curious turn it on channel forty-seven. It's about that time when I usually watch it."

Harry nodded.

"Uh, just one more thing Severus?"

"Hmmm?"

"Where is the telly?"

Snape laughed and dried his hands.

"There is another door leading off the sitting room, go through it. The telly is in there and the remote is on the mantel of the fireplace."

Harry nodded once more and ran off.

The door leading from the sitting room led to a large sun room. There were tall windows that showed the east side of the estate and a large fireplace. Sitting across from the telly was a large green squashy couch with black pillows and a small reading lamp. It was such a cozy little room and so familiar.

Justine looked around, daddy was sitting on the sofa reading a book. She walked over to him and sniffled.

Her daddy looked up and sighed. He knew she wasn't supposed to be out of bed when she had such a head cold.

"Want to join me love bug?" he asked helping her up onto his lap.

Justine simply nodded and began dozing off in her father's arms.

Harry sighed; it was so unfair that all Harry could do was see it in the back of his mind instead of actually feel it with his own two hands. He turned on the TV and collapsed onto the couch.

"Wow." He said yawning.

The couch curved to his every limb and hugged him with comfort. He turned the channel and saw that House MD was just coming on.

"Figures." Harry smiled.

Only Severus would be into something so intricate. Harry closed his eyes unable to stop the warmth and tiredness from possessing his body.

Severus thought he would never finish the dishes. One of these days he would have to buckle down and use actual magic to clean up a mess. But his mother had always said that if anything had ever happened and magic was unable to be used it was wise to know how to do things by hand. He considered that true as well.

He went into the study House was just finishing.

Oh, I've seen this one.

Severus sighed and went to sit down on the couch he looked and found Harry there. In the back of his mind he could almost picture what Justine looked like.

When Justine was little she had red hair and his eyes. He wondered if it would change back or keep the original color. Merlin, it would hurt him if he turned out to look like and exact image of Lily. He could barely stand to see a picture of her let alone have a small version of her walking around.

Severus bit his lip; it would be dealt with when the time came. Right now he was going to put his child to bed and then go and pay his good friend Minerva a visit. He pulled Harry up into his arms and almost dropped him from the anger he felt. Harry was lighter then air. He was nothing but skin and bones. Severus swore that even if he had to go to Azkaban he would make those muggles pay for what they did.

He laid Harry on his bed pulled the blanket up to his chin and placed a charm on him so if he woke up it would warn Severus to be back at the Manor.

"Sleep tight my sweet child." He said kissing the top of his head.

Minerva had been dosing on her sofa when she heard Severus calling her from the fireplace.

"MINERVA!" he yelled.

There was the sound of a gasp and then quickened footsteps.

"Severus…what is it…are you safe?"

Severus smiled.

"Yes Minnie, I'm fine. I need to talk to you."

She glared coldly at him. "And it could not wait till a more appropriate time of the day? Like noon tomorrow?"

"No, quite frankly it couldn't." he said motioning his hand for her to move.

She did so and Severus stepped through.

"Ugh, fine then my boy. What ails you?"

"Have you heard from Albus at all?"

"No," she said offering him a seat closest to the fireplace, "why?"

"Then this should be interesting."

Saying that Minerva Mcgonnagal was fuming after she heard the news was and understatement.

"I'll shove my wand straight up his-"

"Now Minnie, we must remain somewhat civil." Severus said smirking slightly.

She stood and began pacing.

"There is no excuse for this! None what so ever! All those years of you going on without your child…AND THE BLOODY DECEIT…NO BETTER THEN VOLDEMORT WAS RIGHT…ALBUS WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!"

Severus sighed, bless his mother hen's soul.

"Minerva, please do not tell Albus that I have informed you."

"Like hell I won't!" she spat.

"Minerva, think of Harry-"

"If you can even call HER that!" she screamed.

"For now he is still Harry Potter, I am working on a way to reverse it."

"And if you can't Severus?" she asked calming down immensely.

He shrugged his shoulders. "I will love Harry Potter because he is still Justine Snape."

Minerva had tears in her eyes.

"Sometimes I truly wonder if you were sorted into the right house Sev." She said solemnly.

"I was Minerva…I am a Slytherin…just of a different trait."

She nodded.

He left Minerva about an hour later and told her that it would be much appreciated if she were to come and help with ideas on how to make a gender reversal potion.

"I'll help in any way I can." Was her reply and Severus knew that she was true to her word.

He had come to find a close friend in Minerva as well as mother figure when his mum had died. It was not easy but he would not deny the fact that Minerva had done a great job raising him.

Now it was his turn to do a great job raising his own kin.

There's CHAPTER 4 my peeps.
Sirius: Are you going to bring me in anytime soon?
Patience is a virtue.
Sirius: What is that supposed to mean?
It means shut up and let the artist do her work.
Sirius: PSSSHT!! Artist.
Remus: Listen to her Sirius...otherwise she'll make your character look like a total prat.
He doesn't need my help to do that XD!
Sirius: HEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYY!
